Description
For Charly, every day is the same. They used to be different, when there was Clo, but there isn't Clo anymore and she doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple. But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world; a world of knockoff Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone. Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about self-forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation. It's also about weed.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Despite a good, energetic performance from Alexa Davies, I didn't find Lady Dealer particularly engaging. This is possibly because I had a view that was partially restricted by a large amplifier that served no obvious purpose. The play covered a day in the life of a drug dealer, based on an apparently stable routine that goes awry during a power cut.

Brilliant, powerful, moving, amazing almost one woman show, it felt so believable and the character was very likeable...she drew me right in especially with her vulnerability. Loved the rhyming too which came and went which made it all the more interesting, but was so good when it was there! Incredible acting and loved the venue, worked so well, in the round with minimal props. 5 stars from me!
